The people who believed Jesus receive salvation all alike, but the spiritual growth differs form person to person. And it depends greatly on their own practices. What kind of practices are important?
The first is to read the word to be brought up. Whether being nourished by the word every day or not makes a big difference.
The second is to pray to the LORD and walk. If we don't pray, we lack the fellowship with the living LORD and that will result in missing many blessings.
The third is to join the church gatherings actively. Today is "CS Coming Day". We will surely be spiritually strengthened by joining the church school.
The fourth is to value the fellowships in the church. If we walk as loners, that will result in walking on spiritually critical paths. We all need fellowships.
The fifth is to have visions. Without visions, we cannot ensure secure growth. Let each of us examine our own practices.
